Recently, a traffic accident caused widespread heated discussions at a T-junction in Hefei.
A black SUV did not have any physical contact with an elderly man riding an electric car in the wrong direction during a right turn, but the old man suddenly fell.
Surprisingly, after the SUV owner stopped to support the elderly, he was sentenced to secondary responsibility and asked to bear the medical expenses of the electric car owner.
After the incident, the SUV owner called the police, but the traffic police and the family of the electric car owner agreed that the SUV bears "secondary responsibility".
The owner and the mother expressed dissatisfaction with this, believing that the two cars were obviously not in contact, and the owner of the car also supported the elderly out of kindness, so they should not be responsible.
However, the traffic police said that traffic accidents do not necessarily require physical contact, and the determination of liability needs to be based on the circumstances at the time, and the insurance company will handle the follow-up matters.
After this case**, various opinions emerged on social platforms.
Some people questioned the unfairness of the judgment and feared that it would encourage the arrogance of the porcelain touchers.
Some netizens joked, "I fell in Zhejiang, you can find a Hefei person to compensate";At the same time, some people believe that such a verdict may make porcelain touchers more rampant, and "it will be easier to touch porcelain in the future".
The incident has aroused widespread concern and raised doubts among the drivers, who do not know how to avoid liability in the face of similar situations.
In response to this question, some people raised questions such as "if you drive away, whether it is considered a hit-and-run", and called for official science popularization to avoid similar controversies.
